manzo, i went to settings and it looks like (by default) everything there is checked. however I don't see anything having to do with what I want (which is to have an email generated for every response to a thread, like it used to be) -- much more mobile-phone friendly

is there a way to have it save your login info and/or auto login with a cookie?

is there a way to set it so that you get an email triggered for every reply to a thread, as before, or do you have to always visit the site before you will get more notifications?

Click the thread you want to be notified about, select "Thread Tools", select "Subscribe to this thread". That will email you every time there is a reply.

I agree, the site looks very good. I am sure over time Dave will have all the tweeking done and things will be normal for his life. Right now, I am sure he is probably running round this site looking for things to fix.

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

The red part is what I'm talking about. You won't get an email with each reply, as it was with the old site - you will get one notification email, and then none until you visit the site again with your browser. This is a real pain when trying to follow threads on a mobile phone.

Pierce, actually I don't think that is the case. I have it set that way, and what I get is:

I think the User Control Panel needs this added as a Thread Subscription choice. i.e. :
Default Thread Subscription Mode
When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread.
